Beside the Stream

The cottonwoods beside the stream are leafing out in an unearthly shade of spring green.

They’re almost fluorescent.

There has been an orderly melt this spring, with plenty of cold nights.   Runoff is supposed to peak this month, and the water is running clear now.

Six weeks ago at the same spot (March 22) the water was higher and siltier, and there wasn’t any green. 

Love that green.
